the presiding officer: the senator from west virginia. mr. rockefeller: i thank the distinguished presiding officer from the great state of pennsylvania. mr. president, i rise today to talk about the so-called ryan budget plan endorsed and fully absorbed by governor romney, which when you read it is nothing more than a diabolical blueprint for slashing services that help families, seniors and children all across the country. the ryan-romney plan, which is the centerpiece of the republican presidential campaign and certainly will grow more so, has finally come under the new scrutiny that it needed as people got a good look at it leading up to the g.o.p. convention last month. i, for one, have been ashamed of this document for much longer. i was proud the senate voted against it, although it was equally discouraging that a majority of the house voted for it. i'm here today because i want to set the record straight on what the ryan-romney plan, in my judgment, would do to people in my home state of west virginia to your home state, mr. president

, when west virgina was still part of virginia. so it was john marshall who presided over the trial and who was not going to let thomas jefferson get away with any sloppy prosecution for treason. and in fact the burr trial became very important in american jurisprudence because under the constitution treason is very narrowly defined. it consists of waging war against the united states or, abetting those countries at war with the united states, and, it has to be witnessed by two eyewitnesss. well, the prosecution couldn't get the eyewitnesses because the stuff that burr was said to have done actually happened when burr was far away. and secondly, there was no war. and marshall ruled on this, and he instructed the jury you have to acquit. well, anyway, the rest of the story, i can't tell the rest of the story, because i want you to read the book. in fact i'm going to stop there and ask, see if you have questions and if, by the way you have any answers to the questions i have i will be happy to listen to those. if you have any questio
